SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA <PETR4.SA> signed on Wednesday two contracts to sell shallow-water oilfields in the basins of Campos and Santos for $1.5 billion plus $200 million in future payments, the company said in a securities filing.

Pampo and Enchova fields were sold to a subsidiary of Trident Energy for $851 million and an additional future payment of $200 million, depending on oil prices. The Bauna field was sold for $665 million to a subsidiary of Australia's Karoon Energy Ltd <KAR.AX>.
